I am 12 weeks pregnant and have been throwing up for three weeks straight. I've been signed off work for two weeks and am absolutely wiped out - I've been up at 3am everyday and so nearly dead on my feet by 3pm - never been so tired in my life and I look as bad as I feel.
Was at my IL's last night briefly - they are the kind of people who talk AT you, rather than to you - they talk over you if you try to respond and will argue with you: MIL asked how I was feeling - I mentioned that I was quite tired and therefore being a bit clumsy - she immediately said "well that's nothing to do with pregnancy we all do that" and ploughed on with her talking at us (usually about people we don't know)
In spite of this and feeling awful, I nodded along politely and made the right noises of agreement (all they allow in terms of response) and after a while we went home
I now find out that they cornered DH and asked him what was the matter with me as there was clearly something "very wrong" as I was "acting spacey"
DH told them that, as we said at the time, I was just very tired. I had done a 4 hour round trip commute that day, after being up since 3am and a full day's work and it was around 8pm at the time....
They carried on with their drama that there's something "wrong" with me so DH told them it doesn't help when they both talk at people at the same time without allowing them to get a word in. He said it was OTT especially when I've told them I'm knackered so what do they expect me to do?
He also said that MIL probably shouldn't say "you've put on weight!" The second I walk in.
Cue FIL saying "oh it's our fault is it?!" and the two of the creating massive drama out of it, I must be depressed, they will help me with the shopping and "pop round" and basically making out that their feelings are hurt and there's something "wrong" with me.
AIBU to be furious? I didn't even bloody respond to the weight comment FFS!
